Discover Your Northwest

Discover Your Northwest is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit social enterprise operating in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, California, and Montana. We passionately believe in the people-value of Northwest public lands and are dedicated to ensuring that our public lands are places of education, recreation, and inspiration for everyone. We are proud to be partners with the National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Reclamation, US Army Corps of Engineers, City of Seattle Parks and Recreation, and Washington State Parks. We cultivate appreciation of Northwest public lands by operating on-site educational bookstores that provide visitors with high-quality books, educational products, maps, media, and other items that enhance visitor understanding. Our retail sales fund visitor events and programs, state-of-the-art displays, free publications, speakers and performances, habitat cleanup and restoration, and programs for volunteers of all social backgrounds. Our retail activities provide the foundation for us to successfully fundraise for various projects and administer grants and agreements that enhance visitor experiences across Northwest public lands. You'll find us in urban industrial locations as well as remote wilderness areas. Whether serving the visitors of the Ballard Locks in Seattle or Montana's historic Lolo Pass Visitor Center, we are proud to serve our mission in well-loved places across the Northwest.
